Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 oz Cognac
  • 3/4 oz Cointreau
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • lemon twist and rim sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist and rim sugar, if desired.

Notes

  • After making the cocktail, you can adjust the level of sweet and sour, adding more of either element until it's to your liking.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice is a must. One lemon will yield enough juice for 2-3 cocktails, depending on its size and juiciness.
  • Peel off the twist before cutting the fruit to juice it.
